Good morning Lounge

How are you today?

It is hump day, the week is almost over. I am off tomorrow. We have another holiday here in Germany. This time Corpus Christi. But after tomorrow there will be long months without holidays - the next one is October 3rd, our 4th of July so to speak :)
This year it 20 years ago that the wall came down. I feel old ....



Picture of the Day (Frankfurt in b/w)

Great pic!

Hope you have a nice time on your day off.

:hi: :loveya:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Thank you. I'm rather proud of that pic too :)

The weather is supposed to be cool, so I I think I will be a couch potato and just relax. I have to work Friday and Saturday. Saturday in the second job. 8 hours as a cashier.

I need to work over the weekend too, but I don't need to do that often.

I sprained my little finger on my right hand yesterday, and it is very swollen, and painful. I managed to fashion a splint for it, though, so that is helping a lot.

to break a toe AND to sprain a finger :eyes:

:hug:

:rofl:

someone who is more clumsy than me :rofl:

Where I am absolutely good at is to sprain my foot while walking on an even surface in flat shoes!!!! My ligaments are rather lose by now :rofl:

1I managed to break my toe on the carpet!

:rofl:

and g'night hehe.

I've been reading and plotting.. oh, and drinking.

Time for bed now.

Old schmold! I remember that wall thing and I'm not old. Hmmm, or I'm in denial.

G'night you.

:*

and good night :hug:

I was a young lass of 14 years back then ... that might explain a bit why I feel old :rofl:

Plotting? :popcorn:

:hi::loveya:

Wednesday! Only 1.5 days of work left. I had to fight the computer issues again yesterday, and when I left they were still working on it :banghead:. Do you have plans for your day off?

Little MB popped a wire in her braces yesterday and called me at work at 4pm to tell me I needed to get her *now* and take her to the orthodontist. I fixed it myself and will call for an appointment later ;). By the time I got her, the ortho was closed.

I will be on that plane in 36 hours :bounce:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Computer issues are no fun. I hope it got solved by now.

Ah yes ... those braces .... I remember when I had mine ... three years missery.

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Great pic! Loves me some B/W photography. :)

Ye gods, 20 years. You can't feel old, I was already 30 when it happened. :P

Off for a quick shower. No peeking. ;)

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I went outside to get my lunch to resist the temptation to peek. I think you ought to be done by now :D

:rofl:

Now, if I could only find that towel I was wearing...

:D

;)

;)

*tickle*

thinking you are a decent person :cry:

:)

That picture is FANTASTIC! You should be proud.

Another day off? Sheesh . . . you're getting off of work all the time. :rofl: Actually, it's nice to have days off, we all need time to recoup. A couch potato day does sound good right now. ;) Hope that your Saturday job goes well.

And thanks for reminding me. I'm going to put in for a vacation day around our July 4th holiday to extend my weekend.

I too am glad that it's hump day. It's been a strange week at work, but will be good from here on. :)

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I AM proud of the picture. It is one of the best I ever shot.

Ya know, sometimes it is a plus to live in Germany :rofl:

If I could I would go home right away. I am tired and the weather isn't improving my mood either. I am so glad that I can sleep in tomorrow.

Soon you have weekend too and then you can sleep in too. The first days back to work after a vacation are the worst.

just lay your head down on your desk and take a little nap. I'm sure your supervisor will not mind. ;)

It's a cloudy, dreary, rainy day here - a good day to stay home and read. Unfortunately, I'm still catching up on work stuff. You are right, the first few days after a vacation, especially as long as I took off, are the most difficult. Ahhh, but brighter days ahead - right? :shrug:

I have a meeting to attend on 10 minutes.

But maybe I will leave at 4pm today already. I have enough plus time.

Your weather sounds like ours x(

And yes, brighter days are ahead :D

I've got several of those too. Maybe I can daydream through them. ;)

Speaking of work, I'd best be heading out now.

Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

Yes, I am still out in the world. I'm glad you are too, and I see you are still taking beautiful pictures.



I took that one on a very fine morning.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

It is so good to see you :hug:

Those muffins and donuts(?) are looking delicious. Did you bake it?

I just woke up...

Woke up,fell out of bed,
Dragged my comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

And here I am ! How are ou today my dear ? :hi:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Sorry, I was in a meeting most of the morning and quite some time of the afternoon. Now I am back at my desk and try to figure out what I learned today. :crazy:


I had a dream I was following a barefoot girl
Beside a stream that flowed around the world
And we spoke of many things though her mouth never moved
As the most peculiar scenes were disappearing into view

Oh what a dream beyond the realm of why
Pretty little beings beneath the yawning sky
Speaking of God as though they could define
Music to the deaf and color to the blind or God to man

And then the leaves became a thousand tears
And I was on my knees in a crazy house of mirrors
I couldn't find my face but a voice was drawing nearer
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush don't you cry

And I thought I woke and my mother was standing there
And my heart broke as the ribbons in her hair
Turned into highways surrounded and swirled
Like a crown come down around a not so perfect world

In the corner of the dream was the man with the blue guitar
It had no strings but the music touched the stars
And his long dark curls turned to gold before my eyes
And the barefoot girl smiled off to the side and it was real

Then a thousand birds took flight with a joyful noise
And I heard the angels up on high rejoice
I could see my face and I recognized the voice
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush baby hush

It's just a dream, one of those that goes on and on
Scene after scene with the rhythm of a gypsy song
When I really woke I was frozen in between
I didn't know who I was, it was a dream inside a dream

It's all a dream
Oh what a dream
I had a dream

(Joan Baez, The Dream Song)

Beautiful song! :loveya:

While you were at your meeting I was

doing some virtual tourism:



I'm pretty sure you know that tower. :)

Google Earth is amazing for someone who love

to travel but can't.It looks like a lovely

place.:)

honestly, I can't say I recocgnize it right now :blush:

It's a tower in a place called Jena.:)

I have to admit, I was 7 years old when we moved away from Jena and I am not really visiting often. And if I do I only visit my family but not the city. Does that make sense?

I wasn't sure if I made a mistake or not.:)

Have you ever used Google Hearth ?

Or Google Earth. Yes, I used Google Earth. I used it the whole time I was looking for a condo. Gave you an idea where the house was located. Also, I was blown away when I saw the street view the first time.

That technology was Science Fiction not so long ago.

So tomorrow you have a day off ?

Yes, I have tomorrow off :D I guess I will come online at one point of the day but I won't post the good morning thread.

I'm all confused with the two threads! :D

made a complete fool of myself with not recognizing it

I'm the biggest fool in the world ! You can't compete with me about that.:rofl:

:rofl:

But I'm sure I would win.:rofl:

Please let's stay on this thread because it's getting

confusing to go back and forth with the other one.:crazy:

What are your plans for tomorrow ?

no problem. Just to make it clear, YOU started it !!! :rofl:

My plans for tomorrow? Being a couch potato. The weather is supposed to be cold and rainy, so I have a good excuse to do nothing :)

:P

Ya know, I do have to work in between

At what time do you leave ?

:rofl:

I think I will leave with the next half hour to hour.

On your FB Wall you have a lot of Fun Quizzes (I hope I spelled that correctly) but

you don't make a lot of comments about yourself,how you feel and so on.I wish

you would. :pals:

:hug:

I don't know what to tell in those comments. I don't see myself as that interesting to tell every five minutes how I feel and stuff.

You are far more interesting than you think.Well

if you were boring I wouldn't talk to you as much

as I do. :hug:

:hug:

I will see if I get myself posting more in FB in the furure. But you can always find me here :D

:cry:

Did you check the link I posted about Nominale Derivation im Deutschen und im Dänischen ?

It's a site from Poland.(?)

it is the book I had in front of me. Yes, it got published in Poland but is written in German. It is part of a German series from the univeristy. "Germanica Wratislavensia"

I'll try some of the tests on your FB page and if I find some funny

ones I'll send you the links.Enjoy your day off my dear.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.:hug:

:hug:

I will be leaving soon myself. I stayed longer than I wanted .... just because of you :)

what is "Nominale Derivation im Deutschen und im Dänischen" :rofl:

Hum,Babelfish is not that great for translation.

Er...Häagen-Dazs ? :rofl:

I got. I had to figure out how to systematize is. And for that I need to understand what it is about. I put it under history of language.

the roots (?) or historical similarities between German and Danish ?

It must be interesting if you speak both languages and are interested

in History.I've read some medieval French text and wow! that

was...special.:)

it is about the similarities between German and Danish and how that helps you as a German to learn Danish.

I'm wishing tomorrow were a holiday for me too. If I hadn't taken so many days off last month... :rofl:



Do you have any good plans for tomorrow?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I am SOOOOO glad I have this day off tomorrow. I feel like I need a vacation. But I only have vacation in August. Maybe I take a day or two off in the next few weeks.

My plans for tomorrow are moving from the bed to the couch after waking up and stand there for the rest of the day. Except when I make myself something to eat or have to use the bathroom :rofl:

:rofl:


sometimes you just have to laze around.

:hug:

considering I will work Friday full day and Saturday. I am so not used to working 6 days a week instead of 5.

but the extra money will be worth it. :D

at least I hope the paycheck tells me it is worth it :rofl:

and find something else which does. :D

but I expect to make between 200 and 400 Euros and that is OK.

I wouldn't mind.

:loveya: :hi: Another great picture.

I'm up and ready to go running soon. Just found out that the 2:25 flight I planned to take filled up during the night. I could have got on the 9:25 this morning, but I'd never make it now. Oops.

Last resort I can get on the 8pm flight tonight and spend another night in Ft. Myers...

:hi: :loveya: :hug:


Awwwww .... you have to stay another day in Charlotte. I feel so sorry for you .... NOT!!! :rofl:

At this point I'm not sure I'll ever get back to the Keys!:crazy:

Doesn't mean I won't get on, but not looking good. I've gotten on flights with no seats before, thanks to no-shows.

The 8pm flight has 14 seats and only a few non-revs listed right now, but I have to spend the night in Ft. Myers and catch a morning flight to KW.

If I go out to the airport for the afternoon flight and don't get on, either I have to drag my parents back out to get me or spend 6 hours in the damn airport.

So I'm in a quandary. What do you think? Help me, Miss Honeychurch.

Nice photo. Is that with your digicam off your balcony?
If I asked you to do me a quick favor would you mind.....?

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

That picture I didn't take from my balcony. But from a tower downtown Frankfurt. With my old film camera :)

Shot away, what is your question?

about the calendar - check your pm in a minute. thanks.

I took a class where I developed the film myself and as well the pictures. Maybe I need to do it again. I still have my film camera.

Made it through last night's soccer game vs. the 1st place team and arch-rivals. We were beaten unmercifully and didn't get a goal. :( Injured and walking wounded used our few subs. I don't know the final score. :hide:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

ouch, that doesn't sound like your best match. So you are walking around now, licking your wounds :hug:

all the heavier training helped a LOT. I'm not walking around in pain, can't say the same for my teammates. :( We had 4 playing injured, of those, 2 ended their games early. We had only 7 fully-functional players, and our opponents had 12. Watching them change players was like watching a hockey line change--at once.

how many stories are you up?

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

On top of the tower. And the tower has 56 stores. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maintower

I'm sure glad that wall came down.
:hi: :hug:
Nice picture

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Me too, believe me, me too.

thanks for sharing!
